“Anxiety is just our brain’s way of trying to keep us alive and
well; it is simply, and fortunately, one of our many in-built survival
mechanisms. Just as we feel pain when we burn our skin which

anxiety when the brain perceives a threat to our well-being and is
telling us to prevent or extinguish the threat/danger.”

overtime or even ‘malfunctioning’ of sorts.”
